All are invited to be together We mourn each and every life taken on October 7, 2023. May their memories be for a blessing. As we move into an uncertain future, praying for the return of the hostages, let us find strength in each other. Suggestions from the wider Jewish community: Please wear yellow on the day and to any events. This can be as small as a yellow ribbon or even by simply carrying yellow flowers, anything to commemorate the occasion and show your solidarity with the hostages. On October 7 we ask that you consider these three steps to raise awareness about the anniversary: Change your profile pic to a yellow square or a photo of you wearing yellow. Place a yellow ribbon emoji in your bio. You can copy/paste this one: 🎗️* Share a #DAYOFYELLOW post about the day. This can be as simple as a yellow image or a photograph of yellow flowers. Include some memorial language such as the lines above. -

OctOctober 15 , 2024Adult Learning: From Time to Time - Journeys in the Jewish Calendar by Rabbi Dalia Marx. PhD
Tuesday, Oct 15th 7:00p to 8:30p
Time is fundamental to the human experience, and in Judaism it is even more—time is sanctified. Understanding the Jewish calendar is thus essential for fully comprehending Judaism. In "From Time to Time," Rabbi Dalia Marx, PhD, presents a fascinating exploration of the treasures of the Jewish year. The book artfully blends traditional and contemporary perspectives on each Hebrew month and its holidays. Rabbi Marx's insights are paired with striking illustrations; each month also features a diverse selection of poetry, prayers, and songs. Taking a distinctively Israeli, feminist, and progressive approach, "From Time to Time" is a comprehensive, indispensable companion you will want to return to each season. -

NovNovember 13 , 2024Emeth Reads: The Hebrew Teacher: Three Novellas by Maya Arad
Wednesday, Nov 13th 7:00p to 8:30p
Our next book will be The Hebrew Teacher: Three Novellas by Maya Arad, with Sharon Genkin leading the discussion on Wednesday, November 13th in-person and on Zoom at 7:00 pm. Three Israeli women, their lives altered by immigration to the United States, seek to overcome crises. Ilana is a veteran Hebrew instructor at a Midwestern college who has built her life around her career. When a young Hebrew literature professor joins the faculty, she finds his post-Zionist politics pose a threat to her life’s work. Miriam, whose son left Israel to make his fortune in Silicon Valley, pays an unwanted visit to meet her new grandson and discovers cracks in the family’s perfect façade. Efrat, another Israeli in California, is determined to help her daughter navigate the challenges of middle school, and crosses forbidden lines when she follows her into the minefield of social media. In these three stirring novellas—comedies of manners with an ambitious blend of irony and sensitivity—celebrated Israeli author Maya Arad probes the demise of idealism and the generation gap that her heroines must confront.
